Quite honestly, according to sites I've looked up, there is a common misconception that all 911s built between 1974 and 1989 are 'G-series' cars. In fact, the G-series was only produced for the 1974 model year. It was followed by the H, J, K, and so on.Model year 1974 (G Series. Aug. 1973 to July 1974 production)

Model year 1975 (H Series. Aug. 1974 to July 1975 production)

Model year 1976 (I Series. Aug. 1975 to July 1976 production)

Model year 1977 (K Series. Aug. 1976 to July 1977 production)

After this they used a different nomenclature to identify generations. From 1978 through 1983 they had the 911 SC. From 1984 through 1989 the 911 was referred to as the Carrera 3.2. It was 1989.5/1990 when they began using the 3 digit numbering for the generations. That began with the 964. It is true they varied these generations a bit, but since the 997 generation, they are usually about 8 years.

 

So you're saying that your first 992.1 was a 2020 and your last 992.2 was a 2025. I think that is correct. 5 years on .1 and then .2 in model year 2025. We all agree, but we don't know how long .2 will be available.

 

No. I had first mu first 992.1 C2 in Feb 19 delivery. It came out in 18 . In Nov 24 I had my first 992.2 it came out earlier in 24. Taking into account the amount of cars still to come out I can see the 992 range being the longest production run of any 911s. If I had to call it and it’s just my opinion I think we have another 3 years to go of 992.2s. Don’t forget we are in new technology now with all the emission regs etc I don’t think you can base the 992 production run time frame on what has gone on in previous years.

 

I just wondering about that, from Nov 2027 new emission norm will not allow the 992.2 Base and S to sell (GT3 as well), because these cars are not all time Lambda1. With this reason MY28 might be a 992.3 or 994, with full t-hybrid tech of all Carrera and Turbo range to be able to cover the nem emission norm.

So MY28 would be more than logical for a model change.

 

Just to be make it clear, the 992.1 was introduced as a 2020 model year. Yes they always come out early but they still are a 2020. I'm going on model years not when a car was manufactured. That still takes us to an 8 year run, normally. It could be longer this time, I'm just discussing history. As an example, my 2019 Speedster was actually manufactured in 2020 as most Speedsters were, but they are all 2019 models. My GT3RS was manufactured in 2025, the last model year, although I know some Sunderwunsche GT3RS cars weren't finished until 2026 but are still 2025 models.

 

992.1 is a MY19. Probably US saw cars in 2020 en masse, but in Europe first 992 cars are calendar year 2018, 2019 was a full 992.1 year.

Maybe for US it is a MY20, but not Europe that is also part of the World.

"The Porsche 992 is the eighth and current generation of the Porsche 911 sports car, which was introduced at the Porsche Experience Center in Los Angeles on 27 November 2018."

 

I was looking at a 19 4s that was a 992.1 but looked like a 991. Threw me off in my search as I thought 992 started in 20. In California

 

Europe: 992.1 from Feb 2019:

A Feb 2019 calendar year car can't be a MY20.

 

That has been happening forever. In the US the generation years are clearly defined, but several times Europe and ROW have gotten the car earlier. Maybe it has to do with manufacturing date. In US the model year can be different from the manufacturing date. In US 992 model begins as a 2020 car.

 

Ok, but in this case you can see real 2028 cars in Europe that will (might) be MY30 in the US.
So you will know all the details in 2028 from real sold cars (Europe), but the car will be US 'coded' MY30.

Anyway our European cars also have MY, see my July 2022 delivered Taycan is marked as MY22 in the My Porsche App.

 

No,
The 992.1 Came out in 2018 Calendar year as a 19 MY Car, my order for my C2S below was placed in Nov 2018, for Del on the road end of Feb 2019. So the 992 Started as the .1 back in 2018 as a 19 MY car. I Fully expect the 992 to run for at least around 3 years as in to well into 2029.

 

I think the misunderstanding is I'm in the US and the US did not have the 992 until model year 2020. In the US, model year 2019 was the 991.2. Europe and ROW seem to have consistency between manufacture date and model year. The US approves the model year but it can be manufactured before or after that year. In the US the 991.2 ended with model year 2019 even if manufactured in 2020. The 992 began with model year 2020 even if manufactured in 2019. It's a U.S. thing.

 

🤦🏻‍♂️

 

No.
For example Taycan MY22 was up to July 15 2022. July 16 prod car was a MY23.
Also my 2025.04 prod GT3 was a MY25, but prod from June 2025 MY26.

Porsche sets up MYs by itself as a factory, that is shown in the configurator as well.

 

If you go this route instead of RS, you can also have your choice of transmission...
